<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 293824, member: 8033&quot;]Interesting point Indianhead.</p><p><br /></p><p>Victor hit a big part. People are just plain rude and it carries over. I still respect my elders (for the most part), hold a door for ladies etc. Problem is no one is taught that anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your point about a dealer &quot;closing his doors for the last time&quot; never occurs to these people. AZJack told of his experience at a show and I&#039;m sure this has happened to many of us. Let&#039;s see here - he could have made a few bucks on &quot;worthless&quot; stuff that Jack&#039;s wife thought was cool or made nothing. Arrogant idiot - I&#039;d never buy from him at face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m lucky enough to have several coin shops in my area although I really only frequent two (and not much as of late). However, I have known these guys for years. If they are busy they know I&#039;ll wait or come back, call or even (gasp) email them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The difference between them and what you described is while I&#039;m waiting they are either involved in a bigger deal or cultivating a new customer. Doing business and I have no problem with that.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of them can get a bit rude when REAL busy. He just gets flustered even after all the years he&#039;s sold coins. Nice thing is though the next time I stop in he&#039;s apologizing. Hey, we all have bad days.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;m rambling but you started it! That in mind here&#039;s another point. A lot of dealers are making good money selling modern &quot;crap&quot; in my opinion. Easy sale at a nice markup.</p><p><br /></p><p>In walks a collector looking for an XF, no problem Type I Standing Liberty quarter and they know it&#039;s NOT an easy sale as you KNOW your coins. They can&#039;t push a piece of garbage off on a buyer like this and they know it. Plan B - back to the roll of the newest state quarter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lots of factors but these are things that I have observed as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
